<div>All of my shows are on a network drive, so I'm not terribly worried about moving them (just need to mount the network share in the same place). I had a big hassle getting all the recording devices set up quite right (with a lot of monkeying in the database to make the analog portions of my hybrid cards be slave cards of the digital portions so that recordings worked correctly.
